Who is man's best friend? Books, you'd say. Right; books are the reservoirs of knowledge; they make you look intellectual; they are non-demanding.....so on and so forth. But has a book ever returned a smile? Has it ever jumped with happiness at your sight to make you feel important? Has it ever been a companion, not just to you but to your emotions, in those lonely hours? Books are great, but answer to all these questions is definitely a big NO!

Now think of the question again. What comes to your mind when you think of the best, most loyal, affectionate, lovable, friend and companion that a man has ever had? Any doubts....it's none other than that adorable, four-legged fellow - The Dog.

And among dogs, who can be a better companion than the friendly Golden Retriever with an eager-to-please demeanour? The very name, with the word "golden", brings in a touch of class. The Golden Retriever is one of the most popular dogs that are preferred as pets. The Golden is a big, energetic, congenial and playful dog who loves his master; and becomes his master's pride.

But the picture is not all that golden as it seems to be. There are very many Goldens who are rendered homeless due to a tragedy in their masters' family or due to some other reasons. These are the dogs who have been with humans, lived with them, loved them and have received their love. So desertion pains them. There are many organizations that work towards the rehabilitation of these Goldens.

The happy end to a homeless Golden's story comes in the form of adoption.

If you want a Golden Retriever as a pet for you and your family and you are looking out for one, consider adoption. Adoption will not only fulfil your dream of owning a Golden Retriever, but it will also bring back the sunshine on a pretty, desolate doggie's face.

And here's a whisper in your ear (lest somebody should hear) - You solve your purpose of having a dog and a whole lot of virtue comes in gratis. Who said you should always "give" to find virtue!

Jokes apart, adopting a Golden is not only a good deed, but it also has its own benefits. It costs lesser than buying a Golden. You get a dog that is already used to human company. So adjustment issues are less likely to arise. You will probably have to settle for an adult dog instead of a puppy. Doesn't look cute? Think again. Puppies are difficult to manage and train. They can't hold their bowl. You will have to be prepared to find your shoes, furniture, carpet and a host of other things chewed or torn.

Also, puppies need a lot of care and attention and time. With an adult golden these are not very big issues. It will take time for a puppy to actually grow up and be a companion. Adopting an adult will provide you with an instant friend. If you have very small kids, again puppies are not a very good option. It might hurt your kids. An adult golden, however is very friendly with kids.

Behavioural traits are obvious in adult dogs. So you can choose the one that best suits your need. With a puppy, you never know. You can't be sure....you have to rely heavily on the training that you will provide.

So go ahead, lend a helping hand to a hearth less Golden and add a golden thump to the 'good-beat' of your heart.

Acidity levels in Deer Creek return to normal after train derailment Acidity levels in a Slaughters creek have returned to normal after soda ash from a CSX train derailment caused a fish kill last week. Constructive elements of the US culture and American characteristics separate American society from Europe and other world countries, even American neighbors. This distinction becomes clearer with comparison of America and Canada. Both countries were established by European migrants, but Canadian culture has more similarity with European culture. In one hand, American culture is consequence of reaction and interaction between European cultural elements and American geography. On other...

Good Condition

Wiggins in top condition for Tour British cyclist Bradley Wiggins says his condition is "as good as it gets" as he prepares for his first Tour de France since joining Team Sky. Keep Your Saab Brakes in Good ConditionKeeping your Saab's brakes in good working order is a vital part of keeping your car healthy and running right. Brake systems for import cars like the Saab are build with minimal thickness in order to save weight, but this unfortunately means that the brake rotors much be replaced rather than simply turned. The second most common cause for failure is overheating or warping from heat, as brake rotors in import cars like the Saab are much more sensitive to overheating.

Larry Lyons: Chicory is more than just a pretty weed Posted 7 minutes ago at 8:20 pm. Unless you’re in the habit of driving with your eyes closed, you’ve surely noticed the bright blue wildflowers now blooming prolifically along just about every rural roadside. These are chicory. You love your house or your apartment, the way it has been designed, its functionality, the location, the neighborhood, the whole package. Besides, it is really luminous, and there is lot of wood and other noble materials that make it very special, to you, and to the local house market. The only down side of the property is the rather limited space, and the fact that the rooms do not lend themselves to...

Reflections on E3 and the State of Gaming: PART ONE Those of you who didn't get to attend E3 - that's, well, most of you - Sorry for the lack of posts. That ends now. First, yes, E3 is awesome, though it's not what I expected. My previous experience with a massive trade convention is ComiCon, which is open to industry and fans alike. Indeed, the fact that fans are allowed means that in addition to being a major showcase for new gadgets, toys ... As much care must be taken when online stock trading as when from a stockbroker.
